{"title":"The Extreme Searcher's Internet Handbook: A Guide for the Serious Searcher by Randolph Hock (review)","authors":"Jackie MacDonald","doi":"10.1353/ILS.2013.0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ILS.2013.0018","url":null,"abstract":"With experience as a librarian, adjunct professor and Internet trainer, and as a leading authority on Internet searching, Randolph Hock is well qualified as author of the Extreme Searcher’s Internet Handbook, now in its fourth edition. My interest in reviewing this book was that of a MLIS instructor revising a course in expert searching for clients, as well as that of an information-services manager expanding an information search policy into a search standard of practice. For both of these activities, I needed a current overview of the Internet generally and an update on searching social media, open access and grey literature, and content relevant to Canadian contexts. This book focuses on searching the Internet and complements Suzanne Bell’s Librarian’s Guide to Online Searching, third edition (2012), which focuses on databases. Extreme Searcher’s layout will be familiar to readers of the third edition, as it has evolved slightly from the first two editions. Each of the 10 chapters addresses a broad topic with background information, resource guides in the form of collections of links to “metasites” (major sites), and sites chosen for high value or as typical of their topic. The chapters emphasize Internet content and structure and are rich in detail, and thus of great value to search instructors as few of us know the scope of the Internet as well as the author does. In chapter 1, I marked as course content or readings the following: the Web versus the Internet (p. 1), the Internet timeline (p. 3–6), the Deep Web (p. 23–25) and content evaluation criteria (p. 18–21). This book will also benefit an independent information professional offering expert search services. This book does not claim to be a source for Canadian content; there are few Canadian sources described and included in the URL list (p. 279–96) or on the book’s accompanying Web page (http://www.extremesearcher.com/handbook links.html). However, this is not a deterrent for Canadian readers; discussion of Internet history and Web features is universally relevant. Instructors and others who specifically want to identify Canadian sources can use details of the sites given to help them search for Canadian counterparts. The book met my needs as an LIS instructor and department manager generally and with respect to searching for social media.","PeriodicalId":43727,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Information et De Bibliotheconomie","volume":"37 1","pages":"R1 - R2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2013-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ILS.2013.0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66360331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite public library practice of delivering early literacy programs, questions about program impact on how parents/caregivers support the development of early literacy for their children are largely under-researched in library and evaluation literature. This article presents the research design, analysis, and results of a quasi-experimental approach to evaluating the Regina Public Library’s Mainly Mother Goose program for children under 24 months and their parents/caregivers. Key lessons about the research approach are discussed and future research directions for early literacy programs in public libraries are identified. Les bibliothèques publiques jouent un rôle important dans la prestation de services d’apprentissage gratuits, interactifs et à base communautaire, renforçant les capacités des parents et tuteurs à soutenir le développement des premières compétences de leurs enfants en lecture-écriture. En dépit du fait que les bibliothèques publiques offrent ces programmes d’alphabétisation précoce, les questions concernant leur impact sur la façon dont les parents et tuteurs soutiennent l’alphabétisation précoce de leurs enfants demeurent pour une grande part sous-étudiées dans les recherches sur les bibliothèques et dans la littérature d’évaluation. Cet article présente la conception de la recherche, de l’analyse et les résultats d’une approche quasi-expérimentale de l’évaluation du programme Mother Goose, à la bibliothèque publique de Regina, destiné aux enfants de moins de 24 mois et à leurs parents et tuteurs.

Results indicate that formal instruction is offered by 89% of respondents, a minority of which articulate formal instructional objectives or work in libraries with full-time instructional librarians. Evaluation is mostly informal. Teaching students to find information is the highest priority of instruction, and database instruction is given the strongest focus. Changes in information technology continue to influence instructional content and delivery. Instructional work receives less support than previously, and complex relationships with teaching faculty continue to challenge librarian instructors. Trends are consistent with national surveys conducted globally. Cet article fait état d’une enquête sur les pratiques d’enseignement visant l’acquisition de compétences informationnelles dans les bibliothèques universitaires canadiennes. Les résultats indiquent qu’un enseignement formel est offert par 89% des répondants, et qu’une minorité conjugue des objectifs pédagogiques formels ou du travail en bibliothèque avec la présence de bibliothécaires se consacrant à temps plein à cet enseignement. L’évaluation est essentiellement informelle. Enseigner aux étudiants à trouver de l’information est la première des priorités de l’enseignement, et c’est principalement sur l’enseignement de l’utilisation des bases de données que se concentre l’enseignement. L’évolution des TI continue d’influencer le contenu pédagogique et le mode d’enseignement. Le travail pédagogique reçoit moins de soutien qu’auparavant, et la complexité des relations avec le corps enseignant continue de poser des défis aux bibliothécaires instructeurs.

The study used 25 academic users carrying out three search tasks on both user interfaces. It applied usability and affordance strength questionnaires, interviews, think-alouds, and direct observation to investigate users’ evaluation of the key components of both user interfaces—namely, multilingual features, thesaurus and search functions, and visualization and visual appeal. Results of the study show that users were able to successfully carry out the search tasks using thesaurus-enhanced search interfaces. However, they preferred Searchling, a faceted search user interface, for its flexible language option, thesaurus browsing, and visualization. Users preferred the interface to show the thesaural relationships along with the selected term without interacting with the interface. The empirical data gathered and the design ideas implemented within the two user interfaces will be useful for designers of search interfaces that make use of thesaurus and multilingual features. The design and methodological framework of the developed user interfaces and the study could be used to create more information-rich multilingual academic search user interfaces for teaching and learning purposes. The design and representation of thesaural terms and structures in these two interfaces are designed using novel visualization techniques. L’objectif de cet article est de rendre compte de l’évaluation comparative effectuée par des utilisateurs de deux interfaces utilisateur visuelles multilingues, comportant un thésaurus, nommément T-saurus et Searchling, conçus et développés pour les bibliothèques numériques. L’étude a mis à contribution 25 universitaires effectuant trois tâches de recherche sur chacune des deux interfaces utilisateur. Des questionnaires sur l’utilisabilité et sur la force d’affordance, des interviews, des séances de protocole verbal (thinkaloud) ont été utilisés, ainsi que l’observation directe pour rendre compte de l’évaluation par les utilisateurs des composants clés des deux interfaces utilisateur, nommément les caractéristiques multilingues, les fonctions de thésaurus & recherche, l’attrait du mode de visualisation. Les résultats de l’étude indiquent que les utilisateurs ont été en mesure de mener à bien les tâches de recherche en utilisant les interfaces de recherche enrichies par thésaurus. Toutefois, ils ont préféré Searchling, une interface usager à facettes, pour la souplesse de son option de langue, et pour la navigation et la visualisation de son thésaurus.
